Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015012857A1] A system and method for enhancing a stream of video images in real-time. A primary stream of video images of a real event is obtained using broadcast video cameras. That primary stream also contains images of a display-object that change in appearance during the broadcast. At the same time, a stream of images of an agent-object is obtained. This may, for instance, be an animated computer-generated figure and may be stored on a local computer hard drive. The animated figure is choreographed and synchronized to be in time with the change of appearance of the display-object. By combining the primary and secondary image streams using match-moving technology, a composite stream is formed in which the agent-object appears to be causally linked to the display-object.
